I don't think I have ever left a comment, although I watch all your videos and enjoy them tremendously. I battled breast cancer 14 years ago, and lung cancer two years ago. Both times I had very close family members advise me to put art making aside and concentrate on healing. They didn't understand that making art was so very helpful in the healing process. Despite your comment that your video making encourages you to make art, I strongly encourage you to create whenever you feel like it. Yes, forget about the videos. We will be here whenever you feel up to putting videos together. But for your own healing process, creating art will bring you joy and help both your mind and body heal. With your positive outlook on life, I am sure you will overcome the challenges you face. Thank you so much for providing inspiration to all of us.
Hello Sara, thank you so much for taking time to comment XX I am recovering well from surgery and thoroughly enjoying short art sessions at the kitchen table. Sending a big hug and hope you have a wonderful week XX
Art is healing by definition. Hope your health stabilises AND your art flourishes. I am old old and been a artist life long but now I make watercolor paintings. I am so lucky. You are lucky you have your art to soothe, heal, make you HAPPY.
I am sending prayers for your quick recovery, and peace of mind for you and your hubby. We will be here when you get back, take all the time you need. LOVE the flowers this week... HUGS
Dear Gaynor, I wish you a gentle and peaceful recovery. Thank you for all that you share. Your radiance shines through my laptop screen each week. You remain an inspiration to me. Rest up xxx
I am sending you my vey best, positive wishes. I had a masectomy when I was 49 , with Radiation afterwards as the cancer was contained. I am now 70 years young and still clear. My Mum and 3 of my maternal Aunts also had breast cancer although none of us have the problematic gene. My Mum, (aged 93) one of my Aunts (age 87) and I are still kicking and my other two Aunts passed away with different illnesses at advanced ages. Breast Cancer is no longer a death sentence and can be treated very successfully. My Husband has been my rock and my art has been a very large part of my life. Other than the physical discomfort for awhile after surgery the thing to remember is that it is only a speed bump in our life and our body heals. WE are in control of our mental well being. Your beautiful art will blossom even more so with the things you will learn from your upcoming journey. Your positive attitude will get you through, and, you will find greater knowledge about yourself in the time to come. Keep smiling and I look forward to seeing your videos when you feel ready. A big hug!
Gaynor, your vibrancy and willingness to be yourself while sharing your artistic journey is what drew me in. I found your videos more than a year ago and have looked forward to the next one each Thursday. Sometimes, I even stay up late (California time zone) to watch as soon as it's released. Your joy in the process motivated me to restart my exploration of art after losing my husband. Thank you for being such an inspiration. I sincerely wish you strength, peace, and clear health. As you can tell, you have a lot of us pulling for you! ❤
I’m in California too, and it’s after midnight, but I had to have my Gaynor ‘fix’ to spur me on later today. Yes, you’re artistic journey and insights are truly remarkable, but being a remarkable person it’s to be expected(?). Thinking of you always brings a smile to my face. That positive energy is so infectious!❤
Sending a big hug Janice X I am overwhelmed by the love and well wishes here, I am so so grateful XX I am doing well post surgery, taking one day at a time XXX
I have had 2 masectomy's, and life is terrific and my art thrills my life. I am sending you hugs and love, I understand please use me as a sounding board if needed. Your art is out of the box and so intuitive, it teaches us to go beyond what others do and be free and original. Thank you for that. Hugs and blessings for the joy you've brought me. Let me know if you need anything and the operation was really pretty easy a few twinges and pain but now I am fine and healthy as you will be. God bless.
My dearest Gaynor, I am sending all my positive thoughts and love and I know your positive energy and attitude to life, people and art will see you overcome. I adore painting flowers, but haven't painted any for a while. As a tribute to you and all that you give to this art loving community, I am going to dedicate this Thursday morning slot when I watch you, to painting flowers inspired by you. Thank you for the joy and inspiration you bring. Rest. Take the time you need. We are here for you and your art will be waiting to. ART DOES MATTER!!!!! Love and hugs to you and your family.PS I will probably start rewatching all your previous videos during this time.😘💞💞💌🌻🌼🌷🌺🏵🌹🥀🪴

I am an ardent believer in the power of prayer. You will be in my prayers until you are in full recovery. Art matters and so does prayer. Love the flowers.
Dear Gaynor, your videos have been one of the high points of my week, and I am sure they will continue to be once you are again at your kitchen table. Of course I wish you speedy recovery and future good health. You bring to the recovery period good humor and a delightful personality, which in my book has to count for a great deal. Funny, but I think of you as a friend that I get to visit once a week.Take very good care of yourself, have a good cry if you need to, and know that you have an army of people sending you hugs.
Hello Susan, I feel surrounded by friends here, how amazing is that ! I am overwhelmed by the love and support. I am recovering well from surgery and send love and thanks for your lovely message XXX
Dear Gaynor, I felt some time ago, that something had shaken you, and here it is. Many with like experiences are sending encouragement. I am 83 and living with a chronic illness that had me believing that I had limited time left, 25 years ago. Painting was my salvation. I wish I hadn't wasted a moment expecting the worst to happen. Your lovely enthusiasm helped me measurably and of course I want your videos to continue BUT please paint when it suits you and share when you want to. We all feel genuine affection and admiration for you.
Sending Love and a big hug Ann XXX I am overwhelmed with the love and well wishes...thank you so much. I am recovering post surgery and taking each day as it comes....a little paint....a little rest ! Wishing you a wonderful week XXX
The comments here are testament to the lovely person that you are. Every time I watch a new video I get a sense of the community you have created. Then the magic happens when you put brush to paper. You are always so inspiring and encouraging. I recently started an online course and lesson one was to write about artists that inspire you and what you like about their work. You are at the top of the list with your infectious positive energy . Give love to yourself , lot’s of it , and we will be here when you are ready to share again.
Dearest Gaynor...I'm so very sorry to hear you need this surgery. You have such a great attitude, I'm sure you'll be fine and back to us in no time. You've been a true inspiration and I look forward every week to your video's. I'll be thinking of you and praying for your quick recovery 🙏 thank you for letting us know❤
Oh my goodness Gaynor, all my love and prayers heading to you during this time. We are all here for you and will be waiting for you when you’re feeling better.
My heart goes out to you, Gaynor! I had a double mastectomy 6 years ago and have gone on to thrive. Your positive attitude will serve you well. You will be in my thoughts and prayers and I look forward to the time when you are back. The flower paintings are great. My mom called those flowers you spoke about “snapdragons”. Sending love and positive vibes your way! ❤
Love and hugs to you Cheryl XX I am doing well post surgery and all these amazing messages have boosted my well being no end XX Have a wonderful week XX

Wishing you a speedy recovery. I have no doubt your positivity, creativity, freshness and enthusiasm will carry you through! You are an inspirational teacher. Many thanks for all your videos. See you soon ☺️🌞
Gaynor, a couple of years ago my husband of 40 years died very suddenly and unexpectedly. To give myself something to focus on I got all my old painting things out. I am just a hobby painter nothing professional. I then found your channel and I can honestly honestly say that unbeknownst to you, you and your beautiful artwork have helped me through more than you will ever be able to understand. Art or any form of creativity is extremely therapeutic and I hope in the coming weeks you will find the same comfort in your artwork as you have given me. I will be thinking about you and sending lots and lots of positivity your way. I can’t wait to see what ideas you will be coming up with when you are recovered. Look after yourself and I’m looking forward to your next video.😊🇬🇧
Sending love and hugs to you XXX I have been overwhelmed by the wonderful messages and I am feeling stronger by the day. Bless you for your kindness XXX
Dear Gaynor, I know you'll receive many caring and supportive emails, and others stories of cancer, but I'd like to add a brief version of mine. I was diagnosed 5 years ago, had a right-side mastectomy, and no further treatment. Two years later another lump, same side, had two more surgeries and follow up radiation therapy. strange to say, the process was not terrible, and throughout all I felt resilient and after the initial healing, active. I am currently very well and will be 80 years old later this year. I play tennis three times a week. I love life and I LOVE ART! I painted and drew whenever I felt like it. After my diagnosis I did a painting of me cradling my breast lovingly. Lots and lots of love to you. Through your lovely, inspiring personality and videos you have created quite a following and you deserve all the thanks and love coming your way. Take care of yourself, and I know your lovely husband will do likewise. Thank you Gaynor, and bless you ❤
Sending love and a big hug to you Sheryl XXX Thank you so much for this uplifting message XXX. I am one week post surgery now and doing well, all the love and well wishes have helped enormously XXXX
Gaynor, I've only been a subscriber for about a month, but you have been a breath of fresh air. So bubbly and dare I say, scatty, but in the very nicest way.

Oh dear…I am so sorry that those dang mutations found our best friend and mentor! I am an addict to your channel since I found you on RUclips. If you need to be off for awhile, it’s okay we will all be here when you are able to come back to us. Reading all the comments, I see that I’m not alone in believing how important your work is to us, and to the art ‘world.’ This crazy internet thing presents us with something unique and special sometimes-a person and artist like yourself. I wish we could all give back to you, what you have given to us. You are blessed with a very loving and supportive(it shows) husband, Craig-Rocket who just always wants to be by your side and your daughter who I’m sure loves you to bits-they will be there for you to lean on and help you through the next difficult weeks. We can’t be there except in spirit, but in spirit we WILL be there too, to remind you how much we truly care for you and your well being. I respect you as a fine artist who has so much to contribute and is so articulate about the art and creative process. Hey, you could write a book…all the right words are there in your video history. Okay I’m, what do you say? Blathering on, and on…so I’ll stop. I cherish my 2 small works of yours, the buddies, hanging on my wall and will be thinking about you now with even more reverence. Big hug and❤
Hello lovely Sherrie XXX Thank you for your wonderful comment, we have an amazing kind and caring community here ! I am one week post surgery and doing well. I have my kitchen table covered with art supplies and small projects ! I am taking one day at a time and cannot express in words how much all the love and support is helping me along XXX
Gaynor. I’ve written to you on Instagram, but not here. I told you then how much inspiration you give me. Your art is beautiful. Your videos are a great comfort to me. I was diagnosed as terminal straight away. They missed my breast cancer all together. So I’m very glad to hear you’re being taken care of. I trust you will be up and making videos very quickly because that’s who you are. I often don’t have the energy to make art, but when I do it gives me so much pleasure and have become prolific. A lot of that is because you. Thank you. Go well dear woman.❤
Hello Gaynor, wow, that threw me. I cannot express how I’m willing you on for a speedy recovery. My thoughts are with you. Please put yourself first and only return when you are healthy, and happy to do so. That said, I am sure we will all miss your weekly dose of fun and beautiful artwork. Sending love and hugs in abundance. Get well soon 💐😘💐
Sending love and hugs to you Fiona XXX I am one week post surgery and doing well. I am so glad to have a few art supplies on the kitchen table but just taking one day at a time ! Thank you for your lovely message XXX

Hello Jacqueline, Sending a big hug to you for such a wonderful message....I am recovering really well and will be back soon XX Have a fantastic week XXX
Just saw your announcement my heart sunk to the floor. I started painting in 2019 during the pandemic and my daughter's diagnosis. I just started watching your videos and wish I could have met you as I was in London a couple weeks ago you are my inspiration. My daughter passed away after a five year battle (ovarion cancer). I will keep great thoughts for you. I painted also to keep sane during my daughter's battle. Keep painting. Dee from Philly
You are a shining light… I went through this 3 years ago and several months later I was setting up a new space from a move and coming around to being myself again… I picture you smiling in a hospital bed for a few days, with good pain meds as they are, and blind drawing some flowers on your nearby table with pencils and pen! Blessings for an uneventful recovery and sending good thoughts!
You’re not alone. Had a mastectomy over 30yrs ago and living cancer free. Painting flowers in WC got me through it. My prayers go out to you Have a speedy recovery ❤️🩹 💙❤️🩹
Gaynor your florals have made my heart skip a beat , I adore fluoros, so kickstarting with them was the best. You are simply such a special person, keep arting & loving life, sending out all the good vibes to you xxx🌺💕
Dear Gaynor I have watched every episode from the beginning and, with the help of your infectious enthusiasm and joy, your courage and verve, I have slowly become someone who paints 😊 I am deeply grateful to you. This channel is so meaningful to so many people who look out for your name in their feed and who feel a little bit better, more inspired and engaged because of you. I had cancer 10 years ago and now I’m painting every day 😊 Rest, recuperate and know we are all thinking of you with so much love 🥰
All the best Gaynor, been where you are 4 years ago …I know the stress and fear going in but all is well now and I am sure you will get through surgery and healing with the therapy of art on your side….take care and rest and let the world pamper you! Cheers!
Gaynor, praying for your complete healing and recovery. Your audience friends love you and wish you the best. Your attitude and spirit and personality are precious and lovely and we will miss you while you take a respite. God bless and much love. Linda XOXO
Dear Gaynor. Watching you weekly has given me great joy and I’ve learnt a lot from your approach. I wish you all the best for the operation and your recovery. Your passion for life and art making I’m sure will help you through this time. Looking forward to seeing you share again when you feel ready. All the best. - Kirsten
Reading all the lovely comments it’s clear that your beautiful soul reaches everyone, we are truly blessed to know you through your art and now it’s our turn to send you blessings. Xx
First off, sending you much love, stay positive and keep painting even if you don’t feel like sharing with us. It’s a huge assault on your mind and body and I loved how Rocket just understood. The collage flower paintings are gorgeous, sometimes when you suddenly put on great swathes of white paint it’s nerve wracking but I’ve had to learn to trust your superior knowledge! Similarly the harsh edges of the first paper bag left me wondering how they could possibly fit into the lightness of the flowers, but of course it turned out wonderful and the last two paintings really captured the flowers beautifully. 🇿🇦 Dee ❤
Hello Lovely Dee, Sending love back XXX. I've been doing the "art shuffle" about my kitchen table !! Feeling stronger by the day....being able to answer these beautiful messages is such a good thing. Have a wonderful week XXX

Dear Gaynor, your art videos are an inspiration and have motivated me to get back to painting after a long absence. You have a wonderful work ethic and I can see you are passionate about your painting. I too have had to deal with similar health issues and know the benefits of healing through art.

Wishing you all the best for your recovery. you add a lot to my life, I love Thursday mornings. You are a beautiful woman who gives me great enthusiasm and courage as I am a beginner to painting.
Gaynor, you are so positive in all areas of your life, and positivity helps enormously. I'm sure your attitude to this " hiccup" will carry you through this difficult time. I'll be thinking of you, especially on a Thursday morning, when I will be sending you wishes for a speedy recovery with a big hug.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011, grade 3. I had surgery, chemo and radiotherapy and recovered. I found Breast Cancer Care very helpful and highly recommend them. Don't beat yourself up if you sometimes feel not as positive as you would like, it's a gruelling journey but you are up to it. There will be ups and downs, just accept them and carry on. Sending much love.
Gaynor, my prayers and love will be with you. . You are strong and the reason some of us have found our way to or back to art .You have been such a positive influence. You are the reason I am enjoying my retirement watching you and learning to be free about what and how I paint. Please keep us posted. We love you!
Hello lovely Lori XX Thank you so much for your wonderful message XX I am post surgery now and doing well....some small art sessions and some rest ! Taking things easy and sending love and a big hug XX
Snippy…😂! If only all humans could be half as “snippy” as you, Gaynor, the world would be a better place!! I will miss your bright light for a bit but will pray for your rapid and uncomplicated recovery!! 💕🙏
I look forward to your videos each week- you can’t imagine the good you do. It’s a small repayment, but I’ll be sending good wishes your way. May you find peace and comfort and a quick recovery. ❤️
Dearest Gaynor, I don't post often but, I watch and look forward to your art weekly videos you are such an inspiration. I had a mastectomy and chemo etc 12 years ago. Feeling stronger than ever now.

@gaynorpattle Hello lovely lady. Thank you so much for your reply. Pleased to hear your surgery is done and you're on the road to recovery and being arty! Take care of yourself. Sending love and hugs 🤗 ❤️ xx
Dear Gaynor, I am so sorry to hear your news. But your positivity and enthusiasm for life that shines through in every video will most certainly aid in your recovery. We will be thinking of you and will be here when you are ready.
Dear Gaynor: this is my first comment. I've been watching you for a bit now. I thoroughly enjoy your enthusiasm and love of making art look easy and fun. I do appreciate your sense of color as well. Your announcement brought tears to my eyes and I want to express my deepest well wishes and speedy recovery to you. Keep your strength up. Stay positive. Imagine a time when you will feel better and back to your old self. I worked in the Breast center doing mammograms and it always struck me and I questioned why cancer happened mostly to the nicest, sweetest people. Hurry back to us...
Sending a big hug XX Thank you so much for watching and sending this lovely message....I am struck by the amazing care and dedication of all the health professionals helping me at this time and the wonderful well wishes from our lovely arty community. I am doing well post op...thank you again XXX
@@gaynorpattle That is great news Gaynor! Keep staying positive. For your art, maybe use colored pencils or markers if you can in your sketchbook...:>) The swelling and pain will get better each day. Hopefully you do not need chemo... Cheer up and chirp, chirp
I and many others will be thinking of you, Gaynor. M xx PS: The three florals on the large white paper look perfect just the way they are! A real expression of the summer season. Be well, M xxx
@@gaynorpattle Oh, Gaynor. This may sound strange but I’ve been thinking about you. If you’re up for it and need something to do the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC had an incredible Bonnard show. If you look around their website you can find a link that allows you to visit the exhibition virtually. You may also find a Curator talk on RUclips. I tried to send you the links but I guess we’re not allowed to do that since RUclips deleted my message to you. Anyway, sending sunny yellow healing energy to you across the pond. Maria xx
Darling Gaynor, you are only responsible to yourself. Whatever that will mean moment to moment. You will keep going. And every one of us will be here whenever you pop in. A world of hugs and light and energy surrounds you. I think they have soap crayons for your bathing entertainment and to ease the itch to keep art close. You will feel different because women we made to weather all sorts of changes. You will be even more of yourself, more determined, more enthusiastic, more humorous, more beautiful every day you open your eyes to a new color, a new type of brush stroke, a new way of seeing light and shadow. I am sure if all your viewer friends were invited to be there with you we’d all come to circle you with love. However I do not think England is has enough room for the lot of us. Let others be strong for you until you are once again strong for yourself. In the meantime we will practice and send our energies for you to find a new flower or a new chair or a new sea shore to paint. Rest. Laugh. Do the art in your heART. Hugs to all your family and the puppy.
Oh Linda, a beautiful message, love and hugs to you XXXX The amazing support is overwhelming. I am healing post surgery and feel stronger day by day...one step at a time. Have a wonderful week XXX

Had a LUMPECTOMY five years ago, then back surgery, a shunt placed in my brain for normal pressure hydrocephelus, (could not walk, was incontinent), got well then broke my hip.😮 I am now painting again and am motivated by videos such as yours. Artists are strong and spiritual people. God bless you and thank you.
Dear Gaynor, thank you for another joyful exploration of art-making. As much as I will miss you while you take a break from making videos, I hope you'll take all the time you need. Take loving care of yourself. Your well-being is the most important thing. We will be here to welcome you back when you return! Sending you love, hugs, and smiles.
Much love Gaynor. Your recovery will be aided so much by your wonderful positive personality. Let’s hope you get back to your art ‘therapy’ soon to spur on your recovery even more. If you’re out of action for a bit here’s a flower experiment - keep your flowers until they dry out ! I keep my anniversary flowers from September until the following spring - it drives hubby bonkers! But, watch the colour changes - rose leaves turn a lovely eucalyptus grey green, the heads tilt down into a shy pose and the pinks turn burgundy. Obviously it’s best with woodier stems. Even the dropped leaves turn into gorgeous crinkly shapes. AND the colours and shapes keep changing over the weeks. Use a concertina to sketch the changes as the time passes. Great fun. Lots of love, wishing you all the best, looking forward to seeing you back. (Aubergine) Jill xxx 😘
Sending a big hug Jill, your message made me smile...the heap of dried flowers and the ever growing heaps of art 'stuff' here, there and everywhere drive Craig bonkers too !!! I am one week post surgery and doing well. Thank you for your well wishes XXXXX
Gaynor - what an encouragement you are to all of us! Sending you courage, and healing thoughts. Thanks for all your lovely videos. Yes, please keep painting. In those moments of grief and fear, it is a way through.
Dear Gaynor, I haven’t had a mastectomy but I did fight breast cancer during covid and as soon as I was able to go out ( it was during covid) I signed up to art classes and I have never looked back. It’s now four years later and I’ve given up on a very stressful job and taken a little studio to make art….im by no means an accomplished artist but I know in my soul it is something beautiful and healing for the body and mind. I have been following you for a long time now and your work is full of joy, it reflects you as a person and like you it lights up whatever space it’s in. Praying for you to have peace during this difficult time and that you will soon be back in your studio ❤️
Much love and support to you, Gaynor. I believe all of us on this channel will be holding the vision of perfect health, both physically and emotionally. Please take all the time you need… i will look forward to your return when you are ready ❤
Gaynor, such a difficult time for you, and my heart goes out to you. I will be thinking of you and am sending you much love and hugs too. May your recovery be quick and your positive energy keep you healing well. My mom had a mastectomy and did great! Please know we love you so very, very much and our hearts are with you every moment of every day.
Love and Hugs to you Kathy XXX I am overwhelmed by the love and support and today I have the energy to start making replies and that makes me very happy. I am healing well, so pleased to come home to my messy art table ! Have a wonderful week XXX
Dear Gaynor your videos are warm, kind and inspirational. Sending you ❤️ and healthy healing vibes. I have a feeling that your passion for painting will stay strong and help you to recover quickly - very best wishes x
Thank you for all the joy and encouragement you have given me. Take your time and rest as much as you need to make a good recovery. I doodled throughout my recovery from my hysterectomy and filled a sketchbook. You helped me so much. We will all be looking forward to seeing your videos again soon. xxxxx
Sweet Gaynor, you are such a light in this community. I pray for full healing physically, mentally, and emotionally. Let your creative spirit be your guide on this journey, taking all the time you need from video recording; but I do agree with so many here that your art will hold you up and help you heal. Much love❣️
Love and a big hug to you Francine XX Thank you for your lovely message X. I am one week post surgery and doing well, enjoying a little bit of art and resting up when I need to XXX

Dear Gaynor, I am sorry to hear about your mastectomy. I got breast cancer 3 years ago. I still struggle with my energy levels. But being creative is very helpful. Take it easy. Listen to what you and your body need. Take your time. Sometimes it helped for me, just to draw a little monster… no need to force anything… I am sending big hugs and wish you all the best. Heal well… and I will see you here when you feel up to it… big thank you for all the inspiration you gave here. ❤️

I don't think I have ever left a comment, although I watch all your videos and enjoy them tremendously. I battled breast cancer 14 years ago, and lung cancer two years ago. Both times I had very close family members advise me to put art making aside and concentrate on healing. They didn't understand that making art was so very helpful in the healing process. Despite your comment that your video making encourages you to make art, I strongly encourage you to create whenever you feel like it. Yes, forget about the videos. We will be here whenever you feel up to putting videos together. But for your own healing process, creating art will bring you joy and help both your mind and body heal. With your positive outlook on life, I am sure you will overcome the challenges you face. Thank you so much for providing inspiration to all of us.
Hello Sara, thank you so much for taking time to comment XX I am recovering well from surgery and thoroughly enjoying short art sessions at the kitchen table. Sending a big hug and hope you have a wonderful week XX
Art is healing by definition. Hope your health stabilises AND your art flourishes. I am old old and been a artist life long but now I make watercolor paintings. I am so lucky. You are lucky you have your art to soothe, heal, make you HAPPY.
I am sending prayers for your quick recovery, and peace of mind for you and your hubby. We will be here when you get back, take all the time you need. LOVE the flowers this week... HUGS
Hello Michelle, Thank you for such a kind and caring message, I appreciate your lovely sentiment XX
@gaynorpattle I hope you are doing well., and I'm sorry you have to go through it.
Dear Gaynor, I wish you a gentle and peaceful recovery. Thank you for all that you share. Your radiance shines through my laptop screen each week. You remain an inspiration to me. Rest up xxx
Thank you for such a lovely message XXX
I am sending you my vey best, positive wishes. I had a masectomy when I was 49 , with Radiation afterwards as the cancer was contained. I am now 70 years young and still clear. My Mum and 3 of my maternal Aunts also had breast cancer although none of us have the problematic gene. My Mum, (aged 93) one of my Aunts (age 87) and I are still kicking and my other two Aunts passed away with different illnesses at advanced ages. Breast Cancer is no longer a death sentence and can be treated very successfully. My Husband has been my rock and my art has been a very large part of my life. Other than the physical discomfort for awhile after surgery the thing to remember is that it is only a speed bump in our life and our body heals. WE are in control of our mental well being. Your beautiful art will blossom even more so with the things you will learn from your upcoming journey. Your positive attitude will get you through, and, you will find greater knowledge about yourself in the time to come. Keep smiling and I look forward to seeing your videos when you feel ready. A big hug!
Beautifully said.
A wonderful message, thank you Marion...big hugs to you too XXX
Gaynor, your vibrancy and willingness to be yourself while sharing your artistic journey is what drew me in. I found your videos more than a year ago and have looked forward to the next one each Thursday. Sometimes, I even stay up late (California time zone) to watch as soon as it's released. Your joy in the process motivated me to restart my exploration of art after losing my husband.
Thank you for being such an inspiration. I sincerely wish you strength, peace, and clear health. As you can tell, you have a lot of us pulling for you! ❤
I’m in California too, and it’s after midnight, but I had to have my Gaynor ‘fix’ to spur me on later today. Yes, you’re artistic journey and insights are truly remarkable, but being a remarkable person it’s to be expected(?). Thinking of you always brings a smile to my face. That positive energy is so infectious!❤
Sending a big hug Janice X I am overwhelmed by the love and well wishes here, I am so so grateful XX I am doing well post surgery, taking one day at a time XXX
I have had 2 masectomy's, and life is terrific and my art thrills my life. I am sending you hugs and love, I understand please use me as a sounding board if needed. Your art is out of the box and so intuitive, it teaches us to go beyond what others do and be free and original. Thank you for that. Hugs and blessings for the joy you've brought me. Let me know if you need anything and the operation was really pretty easy a few twinges and pain but now I am fine and healthy as you will be. God bless.

Dear Gaynor, your videos have been one of the high points of my week, and I am sure they will continue to be once you are again at your kitchen table. Of course I wish you speedy recovery and future good health. You bring to the recovery period good humor and a delightful personality, which in my book has to count for a great deal. Funny, but I think of you as a friend that I get to visit once a week.Take very good care of yourself, have a good cry if you need to, and know that you have an army of people sending you hugs.
Hello Susan, I feel surrounded by friends here, how amazing is that ! I am overwhelmed by the love and support. I am recovering well from surgery and send love and thanks for your lovely message XXX
Dear Gaynor, I felt some time ago, that something had shaken you, and here it is. Many with like experiences are sending encouragement. I am 83 and living with a chronic illness that had me believing that I had limited time left, 25 years ago. Painting was my salvation. I wish I hadn't wasted a moment expecting the worst to happen. Your lovely enthusiasm helped me measurably and of course I want your videos to continue BUT please paint when it suits you and share when you want to. We all feel genuine affection and admiration for you.

Thank you so much Alice X I am recovering well XX
Gaynor, a couple of years ago my husband of 40 years died very suddenly and unexpectedly. To give myself something to focus on I got all my old painting things out. I am just a hobby painter nothing professional. I then found your channel and I can honestly honestly say that unbeknownst to you, you and your beautiful artwork have helped me through more than you will ever be able to understand. Art or any form of creativity is extremely therapeutic and I hope in the coming weeks you will find the same comfort in your artwork as you have given me. I will be thinking about you and sending lots and lots of positivity your way. I can’t wait to see what ideas you will be coming up with when you are recovered. Look after yourself and I’m looking forward to your next video.😊🇬🇧
Sending love and hugs to you XXX I have been overwhelmed by the wonderful messages and I am feeling stronger by the day. Bless you for your kindness XXX
Dear Gaynor, I know you'll receive many caring and supportive emails, and others stories of cancer, but I'd like to add a brief version of mine. I was diagnosed 5 years ago, had a right-side mastectomy, and no further treatment. Two years later another lump, same side, had two more surgeries and follow up radiation therapy. strange to say, the process was not terrible, and throughout all I felt resilient and after the initial healing, active. I am currently very well and will be 80 years old later this year. I play tennis three times a week. I love life and I LOVE ART! I painted and drew whenever I felt like it. After my diagnosis I did a painting of me cradling my breast lovingly. Lots and lots of love to you. Through your lovely, inspiring personality and videos you have created quite a following and you deserve all the thanks and love coming your way. Take care of yourself, and I know your lovely husband will do likewise. Thank you Gaynor, and bless you ❤
Sending love and a big hug to you Sheryl XXX Thank you so much for this uplifting message XXX. I am one week post surgery now and doing well, all the love and well wishes have helped enormously XXXX

If you need to be off for awhile, it’s okay we will all be here when you are able to come back to us. Reading all the comments, I see that I’m not alone in believing how important your work is to us, and to the art ‘world.’ This crazy internet thing presents us with something unique and special sometimes-a person and artist like yourself. I wish we could all give back to you, what you have given to us. You are blessed with a very loving and supportive(it shows) husband, Craig-Rocket who just always wants to be by your side and your daughter who I’m sure loves you to bits-they will be there for you to lean on and help you through the next difficult weeks. We can’t be there except in spirit, but in spirit we WILL be there too, to remind you how much we truly care for you and your well being. I respect you as a fine artist who has so much to contribute and is so articulate about the art and creative process. Hey, you could write a book…all the right words are there in your video history. Okay I’m, what do you say? Blathering on, and on…so I’ll stop. I cherish my 2 small works of yours, the buddies, hanging on my wall and will be thinking about you now with even more reverence.

Gaynor. I’ve written to you on Instagram, but not here. I told you then how much inspiration you give me. Your art is beautiful. Your videos are a great comfort to me. I was diagnosed as terminal straight away. They missed my breast cancer all together. So I’m very glad to hear you’re being taken care of. I trust you will be up and making videos very quickly because that’s who you are.
I often don’t have the energy to make art, but when I do it gives me so much pleasure and have become prolific. A lot of that is because you.
Thank you. Go well dear woman.❤

Just saw your announcement my heart sunk to the floor. I started painting in 2019 during the pandemic and my daughter's diagnosis. I just started watching your videos and wish I could have met you as I was in London a couple weeks ago you are my inspiration. My daughter passed away after a five year battle (ovarion cancer). I will keep great thoughts for you. I painted also to keep sane during my daughter's battle. Keep painting.

First off, sending you much love, stay positive and keep painting even if you don’t feel like sharing with us. It’s a huge assault on your mind and body and I loved how Rocket just understood.
The collage flower paintings are gorgeous, sometimes when you suddenly put on great swathes of white paint it’s nerve wracking but I’ve had to learn to trust your superior knowledge! Similarly the harsh edges of the first paper bag left me wondering how they could possibly fit into the lightness of the flowers, but of course it turned out wonderful and the last two paintings really captured the flowers beautifully. 🇿🇦 Dee ❤
So true!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011, grade 3. I had surgery, chemo and radiotherapy and recovered. I found Breast Cancer Care very helpful and highly recommend them. Don't beat yourself up if you sometimes feel not as positive as you would like, it's a gruelling journey but you are up to it. There will be ups and downs, just accept them and carry on. Sending much love.
Love and Hugs to you XX Thank you so much for sharing XX I am one week post surgery and taking one day at a time XXX

Dear Gaynor: this is my first comment. I've been watching you for a bit now. I thoroughly enjoy your enthusiasm and love of making art look easy and fun. I do appreciate your sense of color as well.
Your announcement brought tears to my eyes and I want to express my deepest well wishes and speedy recovery to you. Keep your strength up. Stay positive. Imagine a time when you will feel better and back to your old self. I worked in the Breast center doing mammograms and it always struck me
and I questioned why cancer happened mostly to the nicest, sweetest people. Hurry back to us...
Sending a big hug XX Thank you so much for watching and sending this lovely message....I am struck by the amazing care and dedication of all the health professionals helping me at this time and the wonderful well wishes from our lovely arty community. I am doing well post op...thank you again XXX
@@gaynorpattle That is great news Gaynor! Keep staying positive. For your art,
maybe use colored pencils or markers if you can in your sketchbook...:>) The swelling and pain will get better each day. Hopefully you do not need chemo...
Cheer up and chirp, chirp
I and many others will be thinking of you, Gaynor. M xx PS: The three florals on the large white paper look perfect just the way they are! A real expression of the summer season. Be well, M xxx
Hello M X Thank you for your lovely message, I am doing well post surgery XXX
@@gaynorpattle Oh, Gaynor. This may sound strange but I’ve been thinking about you. If you’re up for it and need something to do the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC had an incredible Bonnard show. If you look around their website you can find a link that allows you to visit the exhibition virtually. You may also find a Curator talk on RUclips. I tried to send you the links but I guess we’re not allowed to do that since RUclips deleted my message to you. Anyway, sending sunny yellow healing energy to you across the pond. Maria xx
Darling Gaynor, you are only responsible to yourself. Whatever that will mean moment to moment. You will keep going. And every one of us will be here whenever you pop in. A world of hugs and light and energy surrounds you. I think they have soap crayons for your bathing entertainment and to ease the itch to keep art close. You will feel different because women we made to weather all sorts of changes. You will be even more of yourself, more determined, more enthusiastic, more humorous, more beautiful every day you open your eyes to a new color, a new type of brush stroke, a new way of seeing light and shadow. I am sure if all your viewer friends were invited to be there with you we’d all come to circle you with love. However I do not think England is has enough room for the lot of us. Let others be strong for you until you are once again strong for yourself. In the meantime we will practice and send our energies for you to find a new flower or a new chair or a new sea shore to paint. Rest. Laugh. Do the art in your heART. Hugs to all your family and the puppy.
Oh Linda, a beautiful message, love and hugs to you XXXX The amazing support is overwhelming. I am healing post surgery and feel stronger day by day...one step at a time. Have a wonderful week XXX
Dear Gaynor, you are in my prayers. You are clearly a strong woman. I'm sure art will help you recover.

Thank you Jennifer XXX
Had a LUMPECTOMY five years ago, then back surgery, a shunt placed in my brain for normal pressure hydrocephelus, (could not walk, was incontinent), got well then broke my hip.😮
I am now painting again and am motivated by videos such as yours. Artists are strong and spiritual people. God bless you and thank you.
You are amazing ! Love and hugs Susan XXXX
Dear Gaynor, thank you for another joyful exploration of art-making. As much as I will miss you while you take a break from making videos, I hope you'll take all the time you need. Take loving care of yourself. Your well-being is the most important thing. We will be here to welcome you back when you return! Sending you love, hugs, and smiles.
Thank you so much XX Sending love and hugs to you XX I am recovering well XX
Much love Gaynor. Your recovery will be aided so much by your wonderful positive personality. Let’s hope you get back to your art ‘therapy’ soon to spur on your recovery even more. If you’re out of action for a bit here’s a flower experiment - keep your flowers until they dry out ! I keep my anniversary flowers from September until the following spring - it drives hubby bonkers! But, watch the colour changes - rose leaves turn a lovely eucalyptus grey green, the heads tilt down into a shy pose and the pinks turn burgundy. Obviously it’s best with woodier stems. Even the dropped leaves turn into gorgeous crinkly shapes. AND the colours and shapes keep changing over the weeks. Use a concertina to sketch the changes as the time passes. Great fun. Lots of love, wishing you all the best, looking forward to seeing you back. (Aubergine) Jill xxx 😘
Sending a big hug Jill, your message made me smile...the heap of dried flowers and the ever growing heaps of art 'stuff' here, there and everywhere drive Craig bonkers too !!! I am one week post surgery and doing well. Thank you for your well wishes XXXXX
Gaynor - what an encouragement you are to all of us! Sending you courage, and healing thoughts. Thanks for all your lovely videos. Yes, please keep painting. In those moments of grief and fear, it is a way through.
Hello Rebecca, heartfelt thanks for your lovely message X Post surgery now and managing bits of artwork ! XXX
Dear Gaynor, I haven’t had a mastectomy but I did fight breast cancer during covid and as soon as I was able to go out ( it was during covid) I signed up to art classes and I have never looked back. It’s now four years later and I’ve given up on a very stressful job and taken a little studio to make art….im by no means an accomplished artist but I know in my soul it is something beautiful and healing for the body and mind. I have been following you for a long time now and your work is full of joy, it reflects you as a person and like you it lights up whatever space it’s in. Praying for you to have peace during this difficult time and that you will soon be back in your studio ❤️
Wow Andrea XXX I love your message...practising art is a powerful, wonderful thing. Thank you so much for your kindness, it really means a lot XXX
